chapter 6
6 – Genius Blunt (2)
Koo-wook- Back-
“I feel a little better now.”
After confirming that the headache was gone, I removed my finger from pressing my temple.
If there were donuts, I would have calmed down simply by taking a bite, but it was just a pity.
‘I’ll have to buy some emergency donuts on the way back to the dormitory.’
After writing down “Donut fraud” On the note in my mind, I returned to the original direction of my thoughts.
‘In the game, talent was simply a bonus value that added correction to a character’s behavior.’
If you are physically gifted, you will get more from one swordsmanship lesson than others.
If you have excellent magic talent, the rate of magic absorption by drinking the elixir increases dramatically.
Originally, it only played that role, but now that the game has become a reality, it seems that [Talent] Has become a real ‘talent’.
‘No, to be precise, I should say that I’m being compensated by this amount.’
It felt like the original me was tied up in a huge chain and dragged down.
Umm-
I thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion.
‘Talent isn’t always fixed in this state, so it would be beneficial if I had to examine it…… Right now, the loss will outweigh the gain.’
Needless to say, my body is proving it right now.
Perhaps thanks to my original memory, even in this state, I was able to perform simple movements at the level of daily life without difficulty.
But as long as you try to do something even a little complicated.
Kwakdang-
“What, that person suddenly fell over?”
“What did you do on this flat road and fell like that?”
“I don’t know, maybe my foot got twisted while practicing tap dancing, something.”
…… Just like that, I lost my balance and fell.
Beep-
At the stinging stares I felt from all sides, I quickly got up and walked.
I wanted to run, but I was afraid I would fall again, so I just walked as fast as a warning.
‘Anyway, this is bigger than I thought…… ‘
With this condition, I couldn’t train properly, let alone fight.
‘And if I don’t train, my stats will stay like this for the rest of my life.’
Of course, the situation will change if you raise the talent level later.
But waiting for it took too long.
Naturally, I pictured myself gasping for not being able to keep up with the class in my circle.
‘If that’s the case, of course it would be impossible to help the main character and the others.’
It’s hard to take care of myself right now, but what do I know about being the main character?
I was worried because of this, but right now there was no way to solve this problem.
‘I guess I have no choice but to promise later.’
After I forcibly put an end to my worries, I lowered my gaze further.
[Weapon Talent]
-Dagger LV. One
-Firearms LV. One
[Technical Talent]
-Alchemy LV. One
-Summoning LV. One
“Haa…… “
As I checked the written words one by one, another sigh came out.
First of all, there was good news and bad news.
The good news is that like talents, weapon talents and skill talents have been increased from one to two slots.
Compared to the characteristics, it’s right that it’s on the same level, but in fact, this is a pretty big perk.
As weapon talent and technical talent are directly related to skills, in some areas they were considered more important than attributes.
‘But the bad news here.’
Despite the increase in the number of talents from two to four, none of them meshed together.
‘Weapon talent with daggers and firearms, and technical talent with alchemy and summoning? I don’t know what kind of baseless combination this is.’
Of course, using it separately doesn’t mean there is a debuff.
However, just as sweet donuts and bitter coffee create a synergistic effect, the two talents reveal their true value when intertwined like swords and swordsmanship.
‘It’s not for nothing that a character with a perfect combination of weapon talent and technical talent is called a blessed character.’
And considering that, it was clear that I was a cursed character with all four gears spinning independently.
No, it’s actually a lie.
Actually, it wasn’t just a cursed character, it was a very cursed character.
‘What should I do with this?’
If the talent of the created character doesn’t match this much, I usually recreate the character.
Because weapon talents and technical talents, unlike talents, were impossible to change to other things.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t reset your life or do one-chance diving……
“Haa, I’m really going to die.”
In the end, I had no choice but to go all the way with these things.
‘No, even thinking about it again is absurd. You have all four talents, so how come none of them fit together? Even the same talent doesn’t lead to daggers and firearms, summoning and alchemy.’
I felt excited when I first saw that there were two attribute slots, and went back into the dark room, asking what a picnic is.
‘Well, but now that I’ve confirmed that my tail is on fire, my motivation is clear.’
In addition, when I checked my condition, I felt like I was able to see a little how I could develop my character.
Then, I just had to check one last thing and it was over.
“What did you say? Did you say a point system?”
[Do you want to use ‘Point Shop’?]
In response to my murmur, a new system that I had never seen before appeared before my eyes.
As I nodded my head slightly, messages that appeared to be explanations came to mind.
[The point shop is a shop where you can use the points you have earned.]
‘If it’s a point…… Are you referring to what I gave you for acting like an extra?’
As a player of the game, the way to get points is to stay quiet without being caught.
If it was a way to get points by actively intervening in events or making a name for yourself widely among people, I might have seriously given up on the function of the shop.
‘Anyway, this store is more amazing than I thought.’
There was everything from common items that could be found on the street to special items that could only be found on the black market.
‘The problem is that I can’t buy something because I don’t have points.’
Still, it’s a little too much to not buy anything, so after thinking about it, I bought a 5-point steel dagger.
I needed to learn a little about weapon talent.
“Hmm?”
As I held the dagger like that, I felt the dagger cling to my hand as if I was happy.
‘I’ve never even touched a cutter knife, let alone a dagger, to feel this…… Is it the power of weapon talent?’
I stared at the dagger and imitated a pose I had glimpsed somewhere before.
And let’s swing the dagger with all our might.
Kudangdangdangdang-!
It rolled across the floor very grandly.
“Wow, did you see him fall?”
“I saw, how can a person fall like that. Isn’t that dead?”
“Ah, it looks like a student from the Circle. Would you die from something like that?”
No, I think I’m going to die.
Being embarrassed.
◎ ◎ ◎
‘This is…… This isn’t it!’
I was properly shocked when I saw the true nature of my talent through the dagger.
And with the thought that this shouldn’t be the case, I went straight into a deserted park and swung my dagger like crazy for three hours.
Thanks to this, I fell this way and that way, and there was no healthy place on my body, but thanks to that, I was able to roughly understand the state of my body now.
First of all, this body was not talented enough to be said to have been cursed by the heavens.
When I swung my fist, I fell forward, and when I kicked, I fell backward.
And it was the same with magic power. I succeeded in feeling the magic power, albeit faintly, but failed to move.
‘There was no answer, just like an old car that was exposed to rain and wind in a junkyard for a hundred years.’
But it’s really funny.
Shushuk- Shush- Shushushuk-
He had a talent for handling weapons.
‘I don’t know what kind of weird body they have.’
I laughed as I practiced stabbing with only my arms.
I was dumbfounded, but this was the key to solving my current situation a little bit.
‘I don’t use my body and I fix it, so there is no room for my physical talent to interfere with my body. In that state, I only use my two hands to bring out my weapon talent.’
Separation and coordination of talents, this was the answer I found in the last 3 hours of fighting.
“With the feeling of not using the body and only moving the weapon…… “
I continued to move my mouth and engrave in my head an imitation battle method I made myself.
Whoop-
‘Looking at it like this, it was fortunate that the dagger and firearm were caught.’
I wouldn’t have thought of escaping from physical talent if a weapon that could be used with full body strength, like a greatsword, instead of daggers and firearms, was chosen as a talent.
FYI, the same goes for my body and characteristics, but this one is a little more complicated.
As an example, let’s say the attribute is a baseball bat.
Then, when you use it to hit a baseball, which is the original purpose of a baseball bat, you can use your body and magic power a little more freely by receiving compensation through the characteristics.
But what if you want to use a baseball bat as a substitute for a hammer?
Puong-
Suddenly, the body and mana went out of control.
‘It’s probably because it’s an action that goes beyond the secondary range of the attribute and completely comes within the range of influence of my talent.’
Well, putting everything aside, it was difficult for me to purely move my body or mana, but it was possible to move through my characteristics, at least in a small way.
Haa-
Thinking about it again, it’s a body that’s not even funny.
‘That’s why I can’t just be discouraged.’
I still don’t know how to run.
But I even figured out how to walk.
In that case, I just practiced walking as best I could.
I will do my best until tomorrow, the day the original work begins.
